So many things I enjoyed in high school are trendy right now. Oversized buttoned shirt, open over a ribbed high neck tank, has been my uniform this summer. Baggy straight leg jeans appeal too. Knit sweater vests. Lug soles. I’m sticking to the more grown up and timeless versions of trends but I’m much more interested in shopping this year than many years when the trends don’t fit my style nearly as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/3#post-2220265 Mon, 30 Aug 2021 14:49:16 +0000 Anonymous 2220265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to trends posts :)</p> <p>I want to continue focusing on modern classics/minimalism. I've had a bad habit of buying too much of trends I've liked and then getting sick of them. </p> <p>I do know one thing- no overly puffy sleeves. I tried a couple and hated them on me. Subtle lantern fine, a foot of extra fabric on each side- no! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/3#post-2220221 Mon, 30 Aug 2021 04:49:34 +0000 Sloper 2220221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>StagFash - I’ll need more than 2 sleeves - they’ll be falling in the soup or knocking over the salad dressing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/3#post-2220199 Mon, 30 Aug 2021 00:39:22 +0000 Windchime 2220199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater vest trend. I also found a pair of wide-leg pants on the NAS which I’m looking forward to wearing. Last but not least, I want to try the layered necklace trend. I suspect a few more trends will have my interest after a few months.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/3#post-2220168 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 20:43:18 +0000 Sal 2220168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think when a trend resonates you don’t want it to end and when it doesn’t you can’t wait. It is interesting the trends that make it to NZ and those that don’t - and the timing too. Some never arrive in retail here, others late, others arrive early. Suspect it is the same for Florida compared to Seattle etc…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220164 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 20:00:14 +0000 Jenn 2220164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since moving to California (which granted, was only like 6 months before the pandemic), I've wanted everything to be as simple and easy-breezy as possible, but I kind of love the complexity and artifice of dark academia. We just don't have a super-long tweed season, ya know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220162 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 19:02:00 +0000 Momo 2220162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I think you are ahead of the curve ChewySpagetti ! I haven’t wrapped my head around the trends yet ! &nbsp;I look forward to Angie’s post.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div>Cat2 lol<br />I went shopping at two of the only stores around me and I got a pair of platform oxfords and a pair of snake print boots.. I am pretty sure they are Fall 2019 trends ;)<br />I will be rocking them with my new love the N95 Duck bill/ platypus masks I purchased . &nbsp;I have heaps of lovely Johnny Was masks that I wore last year but now I am just embracing the duck bill </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220161 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 18:46:50 +0000 The Cat 2220161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No pressure.

Puffy sleeves + ditsy florals or ruffles or a cropped cut or a wide scoop neck… Just not my jam. Plus not easy to layer with jackets for cooler weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220126 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 13:59:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2220126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not just you, Janet. I am really tired of the puffed sleeves now, too. For a while, it seemed like every top in Target had puffed sleeves (back when that was almost the only store open that carried clothing). I guess it wasn't so much the sleeves that bothered me, but the combination of the sleeve with other details that made them feel juvenile. That Little House on the Prarie look...I'm still seeing some of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220121 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 13:53:43 +0000 Janet 2220121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like the puffy sleeve thing has been going for a while now and I’m finding it a bit tired, or maybe it’s really just that it’s getting hard to find a cute top without big sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220120 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 13:51:16 +0000 Angie 2220120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am working on a trends post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220117 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 13:46:39 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2220117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow all of this year's autumn trends seem the same as last year's: Wide pants, vests, lilac, bright saturated colors, odd shoes are the ones that stand out to me. For fall I am trying out a puffy sleeve top/ vest combo thing that's not in my usual wheelhouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220112 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 13:38:52 +0000 rachylou 2220112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, no Fash. I stopped buying Vogue a long time ago. The one I still subscribe to - I thought it was Vogue, but turns out, lol, it’s the Netherlands Elle. I don’t even pay attention to Refinery29, which I was pretty addicted to. Nothing lines up as far as I can tell - not the magazines with each other with the bloggers or with store buyers and so on. And the mags keep getting thinner and thinner. And the stores emptier. The only item right now that I maybe can recognise as ‘new for fall’ is the sweater vest. I’ve seen it here and on one list that came up in my ‘googling’. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220085 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 09:09:04 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2220085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sloper, if I can’t decide on a raincoat, I’ll have to try that approach. If I get bike grease on a sleeve, I can just switch to a different one. ;)</p> <p>Rachylou, the subtheme you’ve started of what trends are/who decides them is interesting; I’m surprised by your position on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220059 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 03:51:24 +0000 Debbie 2220059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to try the dramatic sleeve trend. Examples below. Also a pair of black boots. Similar to these .I tried to buy them during NAS but they sold out of my size. I am looking forward to fall!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220058 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 03:51:16 +0000 rachylou 2220058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>… I don’t trust the old usual suspects anymore for trend reports. I wait for Angie these days. There was a time when what magazines showed lined up with what I saw in the stores, but this doesn’t seem true anymore. My Nordstrom is filled with new to me designers that I’ve certainly never seen online or in a magazine. Maybe I don't read the right ones now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220056 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 03:31:58 +0000 Echo 2220056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I am never quite sure what the trends are - some are different, while some things are perennial every fall/winter season (knits in some variation, black, some form of boots). From what I can gather, these are the "trends" I will be indulging in this season:<br />* Puffers: This seems to have been trending for years, but I found a coat that is a slimmer silhouette, the perfect length for me and has a functional hood (too many hoods are huge and don't stay&nbsp; up)<br />* Saturated colors (I always tend toward jewel tones, so that's nothing new, but I added hot pink/fuchsia to the mix)<br />* Animal prints - I still see this listed as a trend, although it seems to have been trending for years now. Regardless, I have an animal print coat from last year.<br />* Midi dresses and sleeves - again, I don't know if these are truly a trend, but it was almost impossible to find a dress with sleeves for a while, and I love that I can find them now. Likewise with slightly longer lengths. I do a lot of moving around and crouching while teaching, so I need a slightly longer hem to stay comfortable.<br />*Daytime sequins: Is this a trend? Regardless, I am all about the sparkle.</p> <p>Trends I will NOT be indulging:<br />*Cropped tops - I am over a certain age and have wobbly bits, enough said.<br />* Sweater vests: I love them on others, but cannot see them working for me<br />*Varsity style jackets: I work in education, and students wear varsity jackets.&nbsp;<br />* Wide legged denim or trousers: I have always been unsuccessful in finding a way to make them work for me. I find myself resembling a walking feather duster, so I will enjoy this on others.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220052 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 02:32:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2220052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think in the magazine they do look ahead, so the Southern Hemisphere sort of follows the Northern but not entirely, some of our well known designers just do their own thing from in their own heads and they are popular enough in our country and sometimes internationally in a niche sense that they are leaders rather than followers. Obviously since in the traditional Northern fashion calendar some of the stuff is a good 6 months ahead of when it comes out for you that makes it just the right time for us, and maybe smaller operations could get ideas and bring some things out more quickly ( I don’t mean copy them, but be inspired).<br /> I know on my last trip to the US in 2013 to the Bay Area the number of compliments and queries I got on my clothes was astounding- and comments of “You’re ahead of us”- which I don’t think I was, you know I’m not a trendsetter! I suppose what I wore was just different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220049 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 02:23:57 +0000 rachylou 2220049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see some Spring 2022 collections have been shown… Jenni, do you look ahead like that or to what was shown for the current year? I have to admit I don’t look that far ahead… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220045 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 02:18:28 +0000 Jenni NZ 2220045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For us it’s Spring trends. I get our main fashion magazine again for the past 2 years as it changed editor from the one I found had “mean” content that put women down, and it stopped publishing at the start of the pandemic also ( it is called Fashion Quarterly, part of the NZ fashion landscape since 1980).<br /> The Trending pages for us have:<br /> “Boy meets girl: refresh your wardrobe with a touch of boyish charm<br /> Let’s party: pastels, florals, dazzling detail<br /> Modern boho: soft hues and relaxed shapes<br /> Flower power: season’s best blooms<br /> Ray of sunshine: a page of yellows oranges and lime<br /> Form and function: heavy-duty utility inspired chic”<br /> None of this looks new to me? As per Miranda Priestly- “Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking…” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220043 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 02:09:46 +0000 rachylou 2220043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now I carry either a daypack or my backpack purse. For awhile I did crossbodies. Shoulder bags aren’t really my thing, but it’s not a long walk from the parking lot. It’s big enough to carry my three cans of diet coke. Hahaha. The work fridge is powerful. I bring extra to chill, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-are-you-trying/page/2#post-2220040 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 02:04:53 +0000 Jaime 2220040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok this thread reminded me that I also really want to find a good pair of lug soled loafers - preferably not black.
